Eagle Quantum Premier (EQP)

Controller EQ3XXX

DESCRIPTION
The Eagle Quantum Premier Controller is a
microprocessor based module that performs all the
communication and control functions for the fire and gas
system. The controller is approved as an annunciation
and releasing device for fire alarm systems.

The Local Operating Network/Signaling Line

Circuit (LON/SLC), through which all field devices
communicate, starts and ends its loop at the Controller.
The Controller continuously monitors the field devices on
the LON/SLC and performs the logic functions needed
to generate the appropriate output(s).

The Controller performs both static and user Redundancy

programmable logic operations. Static logic activates
built-in annunciation circuits, consisting of both visible
and audible alarms, per ANSI NFPA 72.
Programmable logic allows the Controller to be
customized to perform a variety of complex logic
operations. Using Det-Tronics Safety System Software
(S3), the Controller can be programmed to implement
any cross-zone monitoring, voting, or timed operations
that might be needed in a fire suppression system.
FEATURES
Approved annunciation and releasing device per
NFPA 72
Meets FM/CSA guidelines as an approved gas
system
SIL 2 capable model available
Redundant controller capability
Two EQP controllers can be configured as a redundant
pair, thereby increasing the availability of the system.
The controllers work in Master and Hot Standby
mode. Under normal operating conditions, the Standby
controller receives the same inputs and update
information as the Master, but has no control over the
outputs and does not execute user logic. In the event
of a switchover, a bumpless transfer occurs. Controller
redundancy offers the following features:
Automatic configuration of the standby controller
Bumpless transfer
Forced and automatic switchover
No downtime on controller replacement
Automatic synchronization between controllers
Increased system availability.

10/100 Mbs communication. For a redundant controller
configuration, the board is required in both controllers.
Serial Interface Board
The optional serial board supports up to three additional
serial ports. For a redundant controller configuration, the
board is required in both controllers.
